In all fairness, the lens flare issue of the iphone 5 is not that big of a deal compared to antennagate.

Ya, but for the price of an iPhone5 as well as the hype and hoopla surrounding its release, you would have expected it to not have these irritating defects when they finally launched it in the market.

But the iPhone4S did not have this problem in the first place... then its much more expensive replacement is more flawed.

Yes it will be an issue.

I have to agree. Ang layo ng price sa Samsung G3 pero bakit ganun, puro bugs.

Malamang na-pressure ilabas ng maaga because of SG3 and Nokia's new windows phone.

Couldn't agree more. 50K ain't cheap.

holy crap, 50K pala dyan. definitely not worth it. that's almost twice the price for hk and sg.

Baka nga sa iOS6 maps magkatabing kalye lang ang SG at HK!

For the tech peeps here, is the purple flare problem on the iPhone5 due to the lens, the higher mega pixel sensor or the image processing software?

As GH said, the iPhone4 and 4S didn't have this problem so it's strange for one to come up now.

ang nabasa ko, due to the material of the lens daw. and normal daw ito. parang yung chipping ng iphone5 case. normal din daw.

Better stick with your iPhone 4s and wait for iPhone 5s to fix all the bugs in iPhone 5.

Digital Photography Review sheds light on the iPhone 5 purple haze issue
49 minutes ago by Prasad 20 comments

Ever since the launch of the iPhone 5, the phone has been a victim of abject criticism for various reasons that, thanks to the popularity of the phone, are usually blown way out of proportion than the situation demands.

One of the things that people liked to complain about was the purple haze seen in some of the iPhone 5 camera photos with a bright light source just entering the frame. In their review of the iPhone 5 camera, Digital Photography Review talked about this phenomenon, what could be causing it and how big a deal it really is.

One of the purported reasons for this issue was the presence of sapphire crystal as lens cover on the iPhone 5, which people believed would give the images that purple tint. Digital Photography Review believes that is not the case and indeed, when you compare it to the iPhone 4S images in their review you will see the same effect, even though the 4S has a simpler glass lens cover.

Digital Photography Review also dismissed blooming, chromatic aberrations and IR sensitivity as possible reasons, as the actual results don’t match the kind of results you’d get if either of these issues were at play. Eventually they zeroed in internal reflections and/or lens flare to be the possible culprit.

So what’s their solution to this problem? Well, as any photographer or camera manual would tell you, don’t point the camera at a bright light while taking a picture and you should be fine. With a bright light source in a corner, your photos would be pretty much ruined anyway, with or without the haze. Also, lens flare is pretty common problem with cameras and not something exclusive to the iPhone. In other words, it’s no big deal.

not all photos have to be great, it is a freaking phone cam after all. they're supposed to be there for candid shots. so you're not supposed to take pictures with friends at the mall/resto/anywhere if there's a light source in the frame? gimme a break.

i think somebody in Apple is just a fan of Jimi Hendrix. "Excuse me while i kiss the sky" XD

Nice one sir!

Masyado kasi palang ginagamit ang cam ng iP5 kaya pala nagkaganyan. Kung saan saan kasi ginagamit pang-pektyur eh. Kelangan pa sa maliwanag na lugar para ipakita new smartphone. :D

i expect it to be great, this is a 50k phone we're talking about. wont bother me if i paid 2,000 for it. might be a nuisance if i paid 15000 for it, but for 50k...fcuk no!

The photos are executed against the natural light. Normally photohgraphy 101, if you take pictures against the light, use the flash.

Now, nakita may violet yun iSight camera ngaun, ibiig sabihin high quality light sensor yan coz it can capture ultraviolet. Para ka na may gadget ni predator
